How to keep new students entertained?

[KrazyCarl92]

Team 20 is looking into participating in a local Vex competition this year that would run from about September to December, with the idea being that more experienced students could be team mentors for the newer students in an almost entirely student constructed build that would not interfere with the FRC build or kickoff. Other good things to do would be to offer new students the opportunity to tag along on community outreach and robot demo events. We are also going to try a new idea, bringing new students along with the team to an offseason event in the fall to give the whole team a feel for what a FIRST competition experience is like (if that doesn't give them reason to stay interested in FIRST, it might be for them). It's more about inspiring new student as opposed to entertaining them. The sooner students get a feel for where they belong on the team and in the FIRST community, the sooner they can begin having a fun and enriching experience.
